Matthew 22:10-14New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10 Those slaves(the King's slaves) went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he *said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
An invitation doesn't guarantee a place in the bridal party.
ReplyDeleteYou must be "dressed" for the occasion. You have to "change your clothes."
Not everyone who recites the sinners prayer is saved.
There will be evidence...a casting off of the old, and a putting on of the new.
